Dual Hard Drive Configuration For Toshiba Laptop - Upgrading Hdd
I am trying to upgrade (replace) one of the 250G hdd on the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6862 with a 1TB hdd. How do I know which hdd is the c drive and which is the e drive? I plan on replacing the e drive (my files) not the c drive (system files).
